Germs, An Epic Tale on a Tiny Scale

This book is published in England and has an air of true English to it, such as “Mum” for “Mom”.  The illustrations are quite charming and suit the story perfectly.  This is a story of the germ battle going on in your toilet at home.  The main character is a boy who doesn’t wash his hands after using the toilet and the germs that ensue!  They transfer from the toilet bowl to his hands, and since he doesn’t wash, and then uses his toothbrush, Queen Bacteria’s army heads straight for his mouth!  King Antibod tries to thwart the queen’s army.  Who will win?  You’ll have to read this funny tale to find out.  Warning: this story may be bit “cheeky” for some folks.  It includes words like, “fart” and “runny bottom”.  This reviewer plans on placing it in her elementary library.  It provides a great lesson to be remembered: wash after using the toilet.
